Research
Development of tools for the
specification, analysis and verification of complex systems (e.g., biochemical systems, financial systems, programming languages, software applications).
Main topics:
Programming languages: Types, Semantics, Security.
Rewrite-based computation models: term and graph rewriting, lambda-calculus, interaction nets.
